>I was under the impression that motorcycles were made to be artificially loud, as just like the existence of the engine, the bike being loud is a major selling point. Is this true?
They don't come from the factory that way (regulation), but people add aftermarket parts to make them that way. It costs a good amount too; $2500 installed depending on what you get.
- hfdgiutdryg 9y agoThey don't come from the factory that way (regulation) They effectively did for a very long time. Harley has a performance parts division, complete with a thick catalog of custom exhausts, cams, intakes, and most importantly an EFI "tuner" box. Harley dealers were more than happy to install whatever you wanted, and even kept a stock of already modified bikes ready for sale. They were fined $12 million for this awhile back. 2012, I think.
